Many of the college expectations that have been outlined so far may not be considered common knowledge, which is one reason that so many colleges and universities have classes that help students learn what they need to know to succeed. The term, which was coined by sociologists,7 describes unspoken, unwritten, or unacknowledged (hence, hidden) rules that students are expected to follow that can affect their learning.
The part about the hidden curriculum was really useful. I didn’t know that there were so many things students are expected to do before, during, and after class that professors don’t always say. The tips I will take moving forward are to read before class, take good notes, and review after. This will help me stay organized and do good.
